A decade after his hugely successful "North Carolina Portrait," Lassiter offers his companion work on its sister state to the south. Traveling backroads and bypassed communities in each of South Carolina's 46 counties, he has captured the world of our grandparents, our parents and, for some of us, our youth. The book is divided according to the type of store or business. Each chapter contains an introduction highlighting a few of the people and places Lassiter encountered during his travels. The county by county index assists you in looking for places of interest. "The history of South Carolina comes alive in these pages in both pictures and words." -Jack Bass, chronicler of the American South and author or co-author of eight books, including The Palmetto State: The Making of South Carolina."

Whether exploring the reclusive communities of the Amish and Hutterites, probing the gritty existence of the American cowboy, or revealing the quiet beauty of the Minnesota lakes, William Albert Allard has helped define America in all its diversity.

His other award-winning books include The Vanishing Breed and A Time We Knew. Portraits of America features 165 of Allard’s finest photographs. Presented in chronological order, with incisive introductions to each section written by Allard himself, these photographs show the creative development of a remarkably gifted artist. Pulitzer Prize­winning author Richard Ford contributes a foreword that places Allard’s photography within the context of the American experience. Art aficionados and lovers of Americana alike delight in this beautifully designed and thoughtful collection from a man who has become a legend in the world photographic community.

"Eric Sloane has here brought together engrossing facts and anecdotes and, with his observant pen, has illustrated the activities, the customs, the things that were created by the people who made their living in what some of us today are prone to call antique ways. As always in Eric Sloane's books of Americana, the reader, young and old, is delighted and charmed with America yesterday. This book is dedicated to those people who have kept the past alive, sorting out the discarded objects with fond hands, though not knowing exactly why they did so, but having the New England tradition that everything comes in handy some time if one waits long enough. Those with this feeling will welcome the 'voice of ghosts' to be found here. This book captures in its way the living heritage of America as seen in 'the things that were.'
